Cafeteria Food

There is nothing at all in my cafeteria that is gluten-free, and if I'm still hungry after I eat my packed lunch there's nothing except chips for me to get. It's all chicken fingers, fries, pasta, soup... they do have little salads but most have croutons so I'm not going to chance it.

Oh, how the world over uses gluten... (Sorry that was just a little mini-vent.)

Also, on a different note, how do I get people (and doctors) to know about Celiac? I've thought about making little cards/brochures and putting them in my doctor's office. Good idea? Not a good idea?

Thanks!

Another good source for information is the Celiac-Spru Association. You can find their site on the internet. They just sent me a packet with all sorts of information as well as a printed gluten-free Food Product listing that you can touch and take with you. (a bit large, but tranportable).

They have brochures about "What is Celiac Disease". and "Beginning a Diet"...... Many would be appropriate for distribution.

They were very helpful as they will for you as well. Hope this is helpful. I would also like to recommend this site to everyone. A lot of work has gone into this Association. Maybe some of you would like to join in their support for us.

Depending on the type of school you go to (private or public) they may have to offer you gluten-free food.

Try packing more in your lunch, or bring food that fills you up. Or, if you can't fit more food, and your school has them, then eat fruit or veggies. I know how you feel, though. All my school has is pizza (mmm.. it smells good) and cookies.

      Ground meat absolutely full of gluten?

      By glucel · Posted

      Flavorings usually identified but don't know if there are laws that govern that. I bot lamb shanks that had rosemary flavor but did not see anything else that might be a grain so I ate it. I eat tons ground beef usually organic and grass fed from aldi. Not identified as gluten-free but hopefully it is. On the other hand I would only eat hot dogs which has several ingredients if identified gluten-free.

      Absolutel liquor

      By Doug1229 · Posted

      All liquor that has been distilled are gluten-free because the liquor is captured from evaporation. Gluten is a heavy protein that will not evaporate make it safe for all celiac’s. cheers!

      Ground meats can contain flavorings and fillers. You must look for the gluten-free symbol on the packaging. I use Jennie-O brands which are marked gluten-free.

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I take Clonidine for blood pressure control.  It is the only one that did not debiltate me.  It also helps with my ADD.  Doctors always turned me down when I requested Ritalin (I am an adult) so it turned out for the best that I reacted badly to all the different BP meds they tried. Originally Clonidine was developed for ADHD adolescents that could not tolerate Ritalin.

      9 year old- questionable results

      You should also have her checked for vitamin deficiencies.   "Iodine's presence in the diet can contribute positively to hair strength and elasticity by maintaining hair follicle cycling and supporting the synthesis of hair shaft components like keratin. Keratin is strong and won't dissolve in diluted acids, alkalines, solvents, or water" "Keratosis pilaris is a benign skin condition characterized by small bumps around hair follicles. It is caused by excess keratin, a protein that forms hair, nails, and skin. Iodine is not directly related to keratosis pilaris, but certain foods can help improve it" It could be deficiency in iodine may be causing the keratosis Polaris.  Insufficient iodine intake affects healing, intellegence skin and nails. The average intake of iodine fell 50% from 1970 to now.  A Medium Urinary Iodine Concentration test will indicate intake.  TSH and T4 will not show iodine intake deficiency until damage is being done. Most newly diagnosed Celiac Disease and other autoimmune diseases are deficient in vitamin D when diagnosed.  Other than bone growth, vitamin D is essential for mental health and the immune system.
